Actually, they just mentioned in passing that there is another serious security hole in Internet Explorer and that the US Computer Emergency Reponse Center (Cert) recommends that you should “use a browser other then MS Internet Explorer until the current vulnerabilities in MSIE are patched.” That sounds logical – switch to a browser which hasn’t been compromised (such as Firefox – because it’s actually good) and then switch back to IE once they’ve given you some tape to patch it.
I was messing around with some tools that you let you easily edit your blog and I’m still a bit undecided. I tried w.bloggar and I’ve been using Zempt for the last few months and it’s been fairly good. The only drawback was that it wouldn’t let me insert the song I was currently listening to in iTunes (it insisted on using Winamp or [gasp] Windows Media Player). Enter Ecto a descendant of the much-praised Kung Log.
I’ve been playing with it for about half an hour now and it’s working pretty sweetly – the interface is great, the features are cool – apparently you can even edit images (I’m assuming I’ll need ImageMagick server-side tho, because it doesn’t work right now). The only problem I had was when I crashed at startup after giving it a bad API End Point address, but a simple restart sorted that out.
